How often do you change a transmission filter?
It really depends on how you drive (stop and go vs. highway), the recommendation of your car's manufacturer, and the frequency with which you change your transmission fluid. In general, the more severe your driving and the less often that you change your transmission fluid the more frequently that you should change your transmission filter. Most "recommendations" are for fluid and filter changes at 2 years or 24,000 miles. Note that some manufacturers (such as Volvo) no longer recommend routine filter changes, but suggest only fluid flushes. I think that this often works best to just do a fluid flush (see http://www.japanesemotors.net/transmissi... If you have an external ATF filter installed you can change the filter more often as it is easy to get to (don't have to drop the pan to replace the filter).

Can you change transmission filter on Honda?
I have a 1997 Honda Accord. Earlier today i went to Kragen auto parts and they sell a transmission filter (i think it was the kit) for my car for $29.99. Then i went to the honda dealer to buy transmission fluid and asked them if they have any filters there. The guy at the counter told me that the transmission filter "can not be changed" and that even the services at honda doesn't even change the filters. I asked him if they even sell the filter and he said no. I'm a little confused here because why are honda filters sold at kragens if they can't be changed? Or is the guy at the dealer lying to me so i can bring my car into their services? But i don't think he is lying because he said that honda services don't even change the filters. thanks for any answers in advance!
How often should you change your transmission filter?
Your gonna hate me...I would do both. Flush the transmission first, then drop the pan and replace the filter. In that order. The reason is this: The transmission flush will clean the dirty fluid out of your torque converter. But, then the filter is still dirty. So, you need to drop the pan and replace the filter. Refill with new fluid, and your good to go. If you only replace the filter, the fluid is still dirty in the torque converter! If you only do the flush, the filter may plug up! Either way, you'd lose. So, I'd do both. I am assuming it's probably the first time this has been done to the vehicle, so even though it would be expensive, it's a worth while investment into your vehicle!
How do I change the transmission filter on a 2011 Chevy Cruze eco?
I think I would have just taken it to a dealership & let them just flush out the fluid instead this. You pull the red CKP lock. One end attaches to the actual connector & the far right just slides in. Can break so be carefull. Once its out of the way, should be a locking tab you push to unlock that gray handle looking thing & then you pull the gray bar down. It pivots down & the connector will sort of rise up in the process while your pulling it down. Thats how those style connectors work. Common on newer vehicles. Sometimes pulling up on the connector while moving that gray handle down helps since years of not moving build up dirt around the connector pivot. That red thing is pretty much a fail proof device car manufactures use to prevent the connector for what ever reason unplugging itself But if you look at the pic, if you look hard, you can see the red lock goes under the grey handle & just above it under the black release tab. It prevents it from being pushed & causing the connector from disengaging. So once you remove the red CKP lock, you push in on the black rectangle above the grey handle & once its pressed in, you pull down on grey handle while sort of helping by pulling straight to the right on the connector itself The grey handle will move to a spot & stop & sometimes those connectors just sort of stick. You can break something here if your not carefull & this isnt the spot you want to break on that connector, it controls transmission control.
How do you change the transmission filter on a 98 Ford Contour?
first thing is go to auto zone and get about 7 quarts of tranny oil and get a new filter and gasket,then jack up the front end and then its a good idea to let it cool down first,thentake out the bolts and let it drain into a pan and after it gets all drained out,take the rest of the bolts out and drop the pan and clean off all old sealer on the pan and the tranny,now pull down the old filter and put a new o-ring on the new filter and put it in where the old filter came out of,now put the new gasket on the pan (if you want to,you can put some sealer on both sides or the gasket)and install the pan and gasket and put the bolts back in(just snug them up,dont overtighten them or you could warp the pan).now let the car back down and put in,ill say about 4 quarts of oil and start the car(let it idle)go through all the gears and then back in park,let it run and fill it until its just about a half pint low,then take it for a drive and come back and check the oil,if it needs some fill it to the full mark.i hope this helps you out.
When to change transmission fluid and filter-2006 Honda Accord?
I just hit 80k miles and am going to change the trans fluid for the first time. Make sure you spend the extra money and buy the official Honda Trans fluid for your car. Don't buy a substitute at the auto store. Honda's are extremely sensitive to the trans fluid formulation. As far as engine oil, I try to change the oil and filter every 3000 miles. A couple of times I didn't get around to it until 4 or 5000 miles - no big deal. The brand isn't that important in this case, just be sure to use the correct viscosity oil. Most of the newer Hondas require 5W-10 or 20. Check the sticker under the hood. If you do reasonable maintenance like this and drive sensibly, most Hondas will last for several hundred thousand miles. However, Hondas are very fragile and do not hold up well at all under abusive circumstances.
How do I change a transmission filter in a 2000 Honda Accord?

Do I need to also change transmission filter in 06 honda civic?
You don't have to change the filter because it doesn't have one that you can change. (It has a filter, but its internal to the transmission and is not a 'servicable item') Honda recommends 100,000 miles as the interval to change the fluid. Use only the Honda Hondamatic fluid if you do change it. Most dealers suggest you do a 'drain and refill' which will only change about 1/3 of the fluid be done at 60,000 miles. In no case should you do a "transmission flush" as that incudes chemicals into the transmission which could damage the internal seals. On my own cars, I do a drain and refill every 30k but I don't drive more than 10k per year so its every 3 years for me. hope that helps
When should you change manual transmission fluid?
Some manufacturers say “lifetime” But to read their testing on most components, “lifetime”is defined as 150,000 miles. I consider that less than ¼ of what I want in service life.Some are more realistic and say 50,000 or 100,000, depending on the quantity used, operating temperatures, and quality of the oil.If you do any driving in dusty conditions, I recommend not passing the 40,000 mark on a manual transmission. EDIT: As Rod says in his comment, if you ford streams or go through high water, check or change the oil in the transmission and differential. (I recommend that people who do that regularly add a hose to the breather tube, going up as high as possible.)Automatic transmissions today run at about 75 to 90ºC. That is way above what a mineral oil will handle without severe oxidation and varnish formation on discs and sensors. Good synthetics can handle 50,000 to 75,000 if not in the mountains or heavy traffic. Once the oil starts to loose its read color and smell burnt, it is painting those parts with varnish and will start slipping or not shifting properly. Then it will require TWO changes to clean up. This is the basis of the myth that you should not change the transmission oil or it will fail. The first change clogs the filter.We change automatic transmission oil in several minivans each day, six days a week, that are used as taxis going up and down mountains between 1000 ft above sea level and 6000 ft. The best synthetics will get you about 40,000 miles before blackening and affecting performance with 7 passengers. Changes should be with transfusion equipment that do 100% of the volume, but no cleaning products.
